Clubmaster GMT Traveler

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for the acquisition of your BRISTON
watch, and thank you for your confidence.
The Clubmaster GMT Traveler is the first watch of the
BRISTON collection dedicated to the world of travel.
Limited to 500 pieces, this timepiece is piloted and
equipped for the first time with the reliable Swiss
mechanical movement Sellita, featuring a power
reserve up to 42 hours.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions
and hope your BRISTON timepiece brings you great
enjoyment.
INSTRUCTIONS
The BRISTON Clubmaster GMT Traveler watch must be
serviced regularly in order to work correctly.
The time left between services will vary depending on the
model, climate and amount of care you take of your watch.
> Temperature: avoid temperatures exceeding 0/100°F;
-20/+40°C and extreme conditions.
> Avoid prolonged exposure to sun, water and steam to
prevent distortion and color fading.
> Avoid contact with alcohol, perfume, detergents and
cosmetic products to prevent corrosion.
> Screwing winder: screw the winder carefully to prevent any
water entering the mechanism.
> Check your model’s ATM level so that you know how deep
you can use it. (10 ATM = 100 meters of depth – 330 feet).

WATER RESISTANCE
Your BRISTON watch is water-resistant to 10 bars. The water-
resistance of your watch is identifiable by the symbol 10 ATM
engraved on the back. This means that your timepiece has
been tested at an overpressure of 10 bars, corresponding to
an immersion pressure of 100 meters (1 bar = ~10 meters).
In order to guarantee the durability of the watch’s characteristics
over time and as the water-resistance may be affected by
certain activities, it is recommended for the user to:
> have the water-resistance of the watch checked by an
authorized BRISTON dealer, and in the event of any case
opening, it is recommended for the test to be carried out with
increased air pressure,
> check when purchasing the watch that the strap or bracelet
is suitable for the intended use,
> avoid subjecting the watch to excessively abrupt temperature
changes,
> protect the watch from being dropped or suffering other
shocks (please, have the watch checked after any violent
impact),
> avoid the use of the controls, time-setting crown while under
water or before the watch has dried after immersion,
> restore & screw-back the time-setting crown to its normal
position against the case after every manipulation,
> rinse the watch with fresh water after any use in seawater.
Please also note that leather straps are not suitable for aquatic
activities.
Furthermore, it is vital to have the water-resistance of your
watch checked by an authorised BRISTON retailer at
least once every two years, and before any period during
which it is liable to undergo prolonged and/or regular
immersions.

ACCURACY
Manually-wound or automatic mechanical watches
The precision of watch models with mechanical movements
is determined by the balance. This oscillates at a rate of
28’800 vibrations per hour. Despite all the care that we have
taken on building and assembling your watch, its accuracy
is subject to the influence of gravity, magnetic fields, impacts
and ageing of the oils. The precision of a watch is measured
by its regularity of rate in various positions. Your individual
temperament and your activities could be the cause of slight
irregularities.
If you observe a discrepancy in the running of your watch, we
advise you to entrust it to an authorized BRISTON retailer who
will make the necessary adjustments.

SETTING OF YOUR BRISTON WATCH
First time using your BRISTON watch
Your Clubmaster GMT Traveler is equipped with a screwed-
down crown. Before rewinding the watch, it is therefore
necessary to unscrew the crown by turning it anticlockwise.
The crown is thus freed by a spring.
Start-up
1. Screwed-down crown
2. Manual winding
3. Date correction & setting of the GMT function
4. Setting of the time

1.The watch is switched on thanks to the crown B located at
4 o’clock.
2.Unscrew anticlockwise the crown B to reach the position 1.
The spring is now released.
3.Push again the crown B into position 1. Then screw back
the crown against the case by turning it clockwise in order to
preserve the water resistance of your watch. The second hand
starts again when the winder is pushed back into its normal
position.
The watch is now working again.
N.B. : After any adjustment, make sure that the crown
is screwed tight against the case to preserve the water
resistance of your watch.

1st position

Setting of the time
1.Unscrew anticlockwise the crown B to reach the position 1.
2.A few turns of crown clockwise are sufficient to start the
watch and to manually run the movement.
3.Pull the crown B in position 3. The movement is then
stopped (« stop second » function). Move the hands clockwise
until the desired time.
4.Push again the crown B into position 1 & screw again the
crown against the case by turning it clockwise. The watch is
turning on again.

Setting of the date
1.Unscrew anticlockwise the crown B situated at 4 o’clock to
reach the position 1.
2.Pull out the winder B into position 2. Turn the winder (crown)
clockwise to set the date. If the date is set between 10 PM
and 2AM, it is possible that it will not change the next day.
3.Stay into position 2 & turn the crown B anticlockwise to set
the GMT hand at the desired second time zone.
4.Push & screw back the crown against the case by turning it
anticlockwise. The watch is turning on again.
Never make a date correction when the watch shows a time
between 10 PM and 2 AM. The automatic mechanism of
date change is activated during this period of time and the
movement could be damaged.
